MARSHFIELD (WAOW) -

Columbus Catholic High School will host its homecoming game Friday at Beell Stadium in Marshfield. Leading up to the game students have participated in class competitions and parades but Friday night before the game they will honor one of their own.

School leaders have decided to retire Altmann's jersey, number 33, because they say he was an integral part to the football co-op's success. Columbus Catholic High School and Spencer High School created a football co-op program in 2002, Altmann's senior year.
